The direct-sqlite package

This package is not very different from the other SQLite3 bindings out
there, but it fixes a few deficiencies I was finding. It is not as
complete as bindings-sqlite3, but is slightly higher-level, in that it
supports marshalling of data values to and from the database. In
particular, it supports strings encoded as UTF8, and BLOBs represented
as ByteStrings.

Release history:

Version 2.3.1

Upgrade the bundled SQLite3 to 3.7.15. Add bindings for
sqlite3_interrupt. Export Int rather than CInt.

Version 2.3

Mark some FFI calls unsafe, for a substantial performance
benefit.

Version 2.2.1

Bump down text library version to match with the
latest Haskell Platform.

Version 2.2

actually does what version 2.1 claimed to, since the author
made a mistake with git.

Version 2.1

improves handling of invalid UTF-8 and changes error handling
to be more complete. It also adds a build flag to build against the system
sqlite instead of the bundled one, optionally (disabled by default).

Version 2.0

uses Text for strings instead of String.

Version 1.1.0.1

switches to the Faction packaging system and makes no other
changes.

Version 1.1

adds the SQLite amalgamation file (version 3.7.5) to the
project, so that there are no external dependencies.
